[What is in man for God to' approve?]

The Lord liked me to make me king. —xxviii. 4.

What is in man for God to' approve?
He makes us such as He can love,

203

He loved us, not for faith foreknown,
But freely in His favourite Son:
Us to our Head His Spirit unites,
In us as part of Christ delights,
Elected, with that perfect Man,
In everlasting bliss to reign.
